I got an offer for 4 A levels: Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Geography. How did you find doing 4 AS levels? Was it stressful or way too much work?

I applied for maths, chemistry and biology and am predicted 8,7,7 and got put on the waiting list. No one from my school who picked bio or chem got in guess its really oversubscribed. Anyway what were you predicted and do you have to pay a fee to reserve your place?

I can’t answer the first question because I didn’t apply for those subjects, but I can answer the second. You have to pay a fee of £150 if you accept your place.

I applied for Biology, Chemistry and Sociology with a predicted grade 8 in bio and 7 in Chem. I got put on the waiting list. Does anyone know how likely you are to get place? Dont know if I should be getting my hopes up or pretty much accept I wont be going?

This is how I understand it: more places are offered than can be provided every year because they know a number of people won’t meet the entry requirements. After they have a list of everyone who did, if there are any spare places in any subjects, they go to students on the waiting list to fill those spaces. So I guess it depends on how many people don’t meet entry requirements for your courses or decide not to go. The website says: “This varies from year to year and often depends on which subjects are wanted. It is not possible to put any sort of figure on this. The more flexible you are about your subject choices, the more likely it is that we can fit you in.”
